srwlml23 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 what is your favorite club player number or numbers just got me thinking because i'm always drawn to 5, 6, 9, 11, as blackburn manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldeaves Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 When i have previously handed out squad numbers i do it based on how i think the number suits their name as stupid as it may sound. However now that 09 will have players favoured numbers, thats a real small, yet significant plus for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
srwlml23 Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 what's that, player's tell you what there ideal number is for there shirt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldeaves Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 what's that, player's tell you what there ideal number is for there shirt Yes iirc i think i read somewhere, where Miles had revealed that players will have a preference for their preferred shirt number when your allocating them. You can also retire numbers in 09 when a club legend retires etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy38 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Sometimes I give a new player an odd number, like when Bhoularouz got 10, just to fight conformity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryseaess Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I always save number 7 and 10 for my two best players. Number 7 is normally my best AM or Winger and my number 10 is normally my best striker . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried it'll mean players getting upset when they don't get their favourite number, or that it will be difficult to assign certain numbers. My favourite shirt numbers are, for some reason, 13 and 37. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where you are coming from, but I seem to remember hearing something saying when Cristiano Ronaldo came to Man Utd he wanted a certain number (can't remember which one) and Ferguson told him no because he wanted him to have number 7 and Ronaldo never got upset about it because he knew that it was the managers decision?

neckus Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 13 & 14. 13 - Bad luck number. I dont give it to anyone. (sometimes i just forget though) 14 - Johan Cruyff's number. So I tend to give it to a player who's 'simular' to him (nobody can be as good though, but positions/style-wise) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOriginalJez Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Meh... I guess... I go through the motions really - just the usual 2-11... my only weird one is that, especially if I know it's only a temporary measure - I like to give my best keeper 13 or 17 and if I get a hardman midfielder 16, or a special striker 20. I can't figure out where my 13 comes from but 17 is fond memories of Raimond van der Gouw between the sticks for us at OT. 16 Roy Keane, 20 Ole Solskjaer.

arsenal_2111 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I always give 33 to my favorite player. In my first real LLM game I gave it to my ML, and he has it for 8 seasons.

SSGTroyer Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I number my players by their positions on the roster. Starting 11 get 1-11: GK: 1 DC1: 2 DC2: 3 DR: 4 DL: 5 MC1: 6 MC2: 7 MR: 8 ML: 9 ST1: 10 ST2: 11 Then, I start over with my 2nd XI, giving 12 to GK2 and so forth, skipping 13, which is my Fan Rep's nickname. Gonna suck when I can't follow that because my ST2 wants #9 ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullee Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 "the players number always depends on their position and name! victor moses when i signed for bolton was 42!" He was the answer to life!! "14 - Day of birth in feb." Mattioson, you should be names Valentino then. As for my favored numbers, 4 bcause of Fabregas, 9 because that's my birthdate, 10 because of Totti and 14 because of Henry.

Heartwork Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I like 17 as it's a very versatile number in football, GKs, DFs, MFs and STs can all wear it and it won't look odd like Gallas wearing 10 at Arsenal and Marcus Bent wearing 6 at Charlton.

bish Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 1st 11 GK - no.1 DR/L - no. 2/3 DC - no. 5/6 MC (more tough tackling one) - no. 4 MC (attacking one) - no. 8 MR/L - no. 7/11 ST (more creative/target man) - no. 10 ST (quicker/goalscorer) - no. 9 (my number) After that sub keeper gets no. 13 about it though sometimes i feel a players name and type revolves around certain numbers that feel right for them e.g. usually left wingers get odd numbers such as 17 or 19. As for myself its 9 (club number), 14 (day of birth/Cruyff) and 23 (when i was a kid, Man u didn't have a 23, so i kinda took it as my own!!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Aja Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 the number 23. It's magical. No. It's spooky Seriously though, my favourite player/number is Torres/9. When I buy a replica shirt I always get my name and 9 on it. Love it. I have a horrible feeling about this "preferred number" thing on FM09 now. Players will put in shocking performances simply because their morale is low due to them not being given their "preferred number". I hope it doesn't run too deep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr1celess Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I give a lot of importance to shirt numbers, if a player has a number that is 30+ other than 32, 36, or 39 it probably means he isn't going to feature in my plans a great deal. However numbers 69, 90 and 99 are numbers i give to good players if i think they suit them. I like to have my CDM as a #4, and I normally give my GK's shirt numbers in multiples of 10 from 30 onwards, in the style of Chelsea. In my game I am in the 2018-19 season, and John Terry will be retiring soon, so I will be refraining from giving that number to anyone else! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
